    Applying the bosonization procedure to constrained fermions in the framework of the one dimensional t-J model we discuss a scenario of singlet superconductivity in a lightly doped double chain where all spin excitations remain gapful.Comment: 13 pages, TeX, C Version 3.

    Collective excitations in double-layer quantum Hall systems

    Full text link
    We study the collective excitation spectra of double-layer quantum-Hall systems using the single mode approximation. The double-layer in-phase density excitations are similar to those of a single-layer system. For out-of-phase density excitations, however, both inter-Landau-level and intra-Landau-level double-layer modes have finite dipole oscillator strengths. The oscillator strengths at long wavelengths for the latter transitions are shifted upward by interactions by identical amounts proportional to the interlayer Coulomb coupling. The intra-Landau-level out-of-phase mode has a gap when the ground state is incompressible except in the presence of spontaneous inter-layer coherence. We compare our results with predictions based on the Chern-Simons-Landau-Ginzburg theory for double-layer quantum Hall systems.Comment: RevTeX, 21 page

    Fermionic Chern-Simons theory for the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect in Bilayers

    Full text link
    We generalize the fermion Chern-Simons theory for the Fractional Hall Effect (FQHE) which we developed before, to the case of bilayer systems. We study the complete dynamic response of these systems and predict the experimentally accessible optical properties. In general, for the so called (m,m,n)(m, m, n) states, we find that the spectrum of collective excitations has a gap, and the wave function has the Jastrow-Slater form, with the exponents determined by the coefficients mm, and nn. We also find that the (m,m,m)(m,m,m) states, {\it i.~e.~}, those states whose filling fraction is 1m1\over m, have a gapless mode which may be related with the spontaneous appearance of the interlayer coherence. Our results also indicate that the gapless mode makes a contribution to the wave function of the (m,m,m)(m,m,m) states analogous to the phonon contribution to the wave function of superfluid He4\rm{He}_4. We calculate the Hall conductance, and the charge and statistics of the quasiparticles. We also present an SU(2)SU(2) generalization of this theory relevant to spin unpolarized or partially polarized single layers.Comment: 55 pages, Urbana Prepin

    Quantum Monte Carlo study of the one-dimensional Holstein model of spinless fermions

    Get PDF
    The Holstein model of spinless fermions interacting with dispersionless phonons in one dimension is studied by a Green's function Monte Carlo technique. The ground state energy, first fermionic excited state, density wave correlations, and mean lattice displacement are calculated for lattices of up to 16 sites, for one fermion per two sites, i.e., a half-filled band. Results are obtained for values of the fermion hopping parameter of t=0.1ωt=0.1 \omega, ω\omega, and 10ω10 \omega where ω\omega is the phonon frequency. At a finite fermion-phonon coupling gg there is a transition from a metallic phase to an insulating phase in which there is charge-density-wave order. Finite size scaling is found to hold in the metallic phase and is used to extract the coupling dependence of the Luttinger liquid parameters, uρu_\rho and KρK_\rho, the velocity of charge excitations and the correlation exponent, respectively. For free fermions (g=0g=0) and for strong coupling (g2tωg^2 \gg t \omega) our results agree well with known analytic results. For t=ωt=\omega and t=10ωt=10\omega our results are inconsistent with the metal-insulator transition being a Kosterlitz-Thouless transition.\\Comment: 16 pages of ReVTeX, 11 figures in uuencoded compressed tar file. Minor changes to text. Our results are inconsistent with the metal-insulator transition studied being a Kosterlitz-Thouless transition. The figures are now in the correct order.

    Spin-Charge Separation in the tJt-J Model: Magnetic and Transport Anomalies

    Full text link
    A real spin-charge separation scheme is found based on a saddle-point state of the tJt-J model. In the one-dimensional (1D) case, such a saddle-point reproduces the correct asymptotic correlations at the strong-coupling fixed-point of the model. In the two-dimensional (2D) case, the transverse gauge field confining spinon and holon is shown to be gapped at {\em finite doping} so that a spin-charge deconfinement is obtained for its first time in 2D. The gap in the gauge fluctuation disappears at half-filling limit, where a long-range antiferromagnetic order is recovered at zero temperature and spinons become confined. The most interesting features of spin dynamics and transport are exhibited at finite doping where exotic {\em residual} couplings between spin and charge degrees of freedom lead to systematic anomalies with regard to a Fermi-liquid system. In spin dynamics, a commensurate antiferromagnetic fluctuation with a small, doping-dependent energy scale is found, which is characterized in momentum space by a Gaussian peak at (π/a\pi/a, π/a \pi/a) with a doping-dependent width (δ\propto \sqrt{\delta}, δ\delta is the doping concentration). This commensurate magnetic fluctuation contributes a non-Korringa behavior for the NMR spin-lattice relaxation rate. There also exits a characteristic temperature scale below which a pseudogap behavior appears in the spin dynamics. Furthermore, an incommensurate magnetic fluctuation is also obtained at a {\em finite} energy regime. In transport, a strong short-range phase interference leads to an effective holon Lagrangian which can give rise to a series of interesting phenomena including linear-TT resistivity and T2T^2 Hall-angle. We discuss the striking similarities of these theoretical features with those found in the high-TcT_c cuprates and give aComment: 70 pages, RevTex, hard copies of 7 figures available upon request; minor revisions in the text and references have been made; To be published in July 1 issue of Phys.
